Having problems with your Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2 Digital Camera ?

The incorrect connection for downloading the photos from the camera to the computer was used and now the computer cannot read photos on the camera and cannot import them. Has the port been damaged? Can this be repaired?

Answers :

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.\012\012\012

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program, such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

After using my Finepix x700 for a couple of years to download photos onto my computer, for some reason I cannot now do so. Two weeks ago at a friends, I tried to connect her usb port to my camera to download photos on her computer but it came up with the message incorrect usb. On coming home and connecting my usb port as usual, the camera gave a message on the camera screen which said ''usb'' and then lit up in green ''pc camera'' and the usual instructions for downloading did not come up on my

Can't connect to pc through the usb port. I used to be able to connect the camera to any pc by connecting with the cord to an usb port - all I did was connect and switch on the camera and it gave me the option of 'computer' and then it would give me the option to open the files and download onto the pc, but now when i plug it into the usb port and switch the power on the camera just switches on and does not show up in the computer at all so my photo's cannot be downloaded onto my pc

My 2-year-old Canon A560 suddenly cannot load photos onto my computer. I've tried 3 different USB Cables 2wo different ports and 3 different computers. It won't open up on any of them. I've tried looking in "My Computer" and running the Camera and Scanner wizard. The camera is not detected and I am not even getting an error message. Please Help!!

If that camera uses a memory card, just buy a cheap card reader for about $10 at wallyworld or an electronics store. It is easier and no software or connection problems. ...

My new C182 camera downloaded our first set of photos okay, now I cannot get it to download our second set of photos ( taken a week later).
I plug in the port to computer and camera, then turn on camera, nothing happens. Replaced the batteries with new ones.

If, after the first time you downloaded, you didn't use the "safely remove hardware"' function before disconnecting the camera, you may have corrupted the connection. You can always use a card reader for downloading. They work better anyway. ...

I have a Sony Cybershot dsc-s950. It will not transfer any of the photos I take now to the computer. The card is not full and when I take the battery out to reset it that still does not solve the problem. The photos are displayed in the camera but they will not transfer. The USB cable looks ok and the port is not damaged as far as I can tell. Any suggestions?

I need to be able to map a drive letter to the L20 to allow my quoting software to upload photos. My old camera would allow the computer to recognise the camera card as "E:" drive when connected to the usb port however the L20 has an 'L20' folder which cannot be mapped. Could you please tell me how I might be able to map a drive letter to the L20 sd card. Thanks

Memory card I had photos stored on a SanDisk 512MB memory card in a Nikon Coolpix camera that is now broken. I put the card in my HP Photosmart r707 to try to trasnfer the photos to my computer. The memory card blocked the camera. I can bring up the photos in a diaporama on my computer but I cannot transfer them. And now the HP camera menu is written in Japanese(?) not the original French. How can I restore the camera to its original state and retrieve my photos.

My D70 is having trouble transferring the photo data across to the computer - the lead is functioning correctly however there seems to be something loose in the port on the camera as it intermittently works and then it doesn't - very touchy.

I cannot upload pictures from the camera to the computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software (Digital camera solution disk Ver.30.2) and have tried a different USB cable but I'm getting an error message that indicates the connection to the camera is not good.

It just decided it wasn't working anymore.
